Streamflow and sediment load prediction using linear genetic programming
(Uludağ University Journal of The Faculty of Engineering, 2018)
Daily flow and suspended sediment discharge are two major hydrological variables that affect rivers’ morphology and ecosystem, particularly during flood events. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been successfully used ...
Evaluation of reinforcing bars ratio effects on SCC beam-column joint performance
(Uludağ University Journal of The Faculty of Engineering, 2019)
Beam-column joints require a high ductility during the unexpected loadings that necessitate the need for ductile concrete in such unprotected locations. Alternatively, self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a sort of concrete ...
Prediction of the spatiotemporal dynamics of von Kármán Vortices by ANFIS
(Springer, 2022)
Wakes and vortices are commonly observed in fluid flows around bluff bodies, a phenomenon which is called vortex shedding. Such vortices are named as von Kármán vortices since their first investigation is performed by the ...
A brief review of experimental friction loss studies for polyetylene pipes
(12th International Scientific Conference on Production Engineering Development and Modernization of Production, 2019)
Plastic pipes, especialiy polyethylene pipes have grown to become one of the freguently utilized material in pipeline systems owing to its advantages of corrosion, biological and chemical resistance over traditional metal ...
Design gyration number determination of 100 mm-diameter asphalt mixtures
(Springer, 2019)
At present, there is no accepted standard by highway authorities on the compaction procedures of 100 mm-diameter gyratory compactor specimens. In previous studies on gyratory compaction, the method of either coring from ...
Approach for siting a support facility for transporting supplies in emergency cases in the Republic of Bulgaria
(MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018)
In this paper, the author determines the most suitable transportation location for intervention in a large scale disaster in the Republic of Bulgaria, by means of the Weber Problem and the Weiszfeld method. The objective ...
Seismic retrofit of full-scale substandard extended rectangular RC columns through CFRP jacketing: test results and design recommendations
(Journal of Composites for Construction, 2019)
Brittle behavior of substandard columns during earthquakes is among the most common reasons of structural failures. Because capacity design principles and ductile detailing concepts have not been properly adopted during ...
Size optimization of planar truss systems using the modified salp swarm algorithm
(Engineering Optimization, 2023)
This work evaluates the performance of the salp swarm algorithm (SSA) for truss system optimization problems and presents a novel method called the modified salp swarm algorithm (MSSA). Five truss structures, previously ...
Artificial neural network model to predict the compressive strength of eco-friendly geopolymer concrete incorporating silica fume and natural zeolite
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020)
The growing concern about global climate change and its adverse impacts on societies is putting severe pressure on the construction industry as one of the largest producers of greenhouse gases. Given the environmental ...
On the seismic collapse capacity of optimally designed steel braced frames
(Engineering with Computers, 2020)
The main purpose of this study is to respond to an important question in the field of structural engineering: is the seismic collapse capacity of optimally designed concentrically steel braced frames acceptable or not? The ...
